Trying Times

I must apologize, I am not here as often as I would like to be. My daughter has some neurological medical issues and just recently spent 4 nights in the hospital. Prior to that we have been in and out of the doctors office. This is when I am most thankful that I home school. If she was in the school system we would already be almost three weeks behind. These are trying times for us now, so if you could keep us in your prayers I would greatly appreciate it. In the mean time I want you all to know posts maybe a little further apart till we come out on the otherside of this. Thank you for understanding.

Making a Rain Barrel

he hardest part of making a rain barrel is getting the barrel itself. I recommend googling how to make a rain barrel. I found a lot of suggestion there. It takes a few phone calls, but it can be accomplished. We were lucky and have a family member who works for food company that has large barrels.

The fun part is decorating it. Thats the part I wanted to share with you all. I am not a handy woman by any means. LOL! Anyways Clarice got the duty of decorating. Clarice used some natural stencils and some pre-cut stencils to decorate it.



We have not finished the project yet. We still have to install the spicket part so we can hook up a hose and use it to water our plants. We live in Florida and there is usually water restrictions at different parts of the year. Gathering rain water is doing our part in water conservation.
